Dandeli

White-water rafting on the Kali, jungle safaris and kayaking in the heart of the Western Ghats.

Tucked into the Western Ghats, Dandeli is Karnataka's adventure capital. The Kali River cuts through dense forest, offering some of South India's best white-water rafting and kayaking. Birdwatchers come for the Great Hornbill, while jungle safaris into the Anshi National Park bring sightings of black panthers, deer, and gaur.
